The competition will conclude in an eight-team knockout tournament in Portugal from 12-23 August.

The second leg of last-16 ties yet to be completed will take place from 7-8 August and teams due to be at home for those matches will still play at their own stadium.

But when the quarter-finals begin on 12 August, all ties in the competition will be held as one-off games at Sporting Lisbon’s Estadio Jose Alvalade.

The semi-finals will be played on 18-19 August and the final, at Benfica’s Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, on 23 August.

Meanwhile Manchester United have been drawn against Istanbul Basaksehir or Copenhagen in the last eight of the Europa League, while Wolves have a potential tie against Sevilla or Roma.

Rangers will face Inter Milan or Getafe if they reach the quarter-finals.

United and Wolves will meet in the semi-finals if both progress.

The three British sides have the second legs of their last-16 ties to play with United 5-0 up on LASK, while Wolves are level at 1-1 with Olympiakos.

Rangers trail Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 after the first leg.

The return legs will take place on 5 or 6 August. United and Wolves are at home, but Rangers travel to Germany.

The last-16 ties between Inter Milan and Getafe and Sevilla and Roma will both be played as one-off matches in Germany after the coronavirus outbreak in Italy and Spain in March resulted in both first legs being called off.

The last three rounds, which will also see all ties played as one-off matches, will then be held in Germany at the home grounds of Duisburg, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Schalke and Cologne.

The latter venue will host the final, which has been moved from Gdansk in Poland, on 21 August.

Uefa says that the games will be held without spectators present.
